They compete against female versions of themselves called The Chipettes and fall in love each one of their counterparts: Alvin with Brittany Simon with Jeanette and Theodore with Eleanor. On their first day at school, they become bullied by football jocks and enter a competition to determine who will sing in the school concert. Ian puts them in a cage and takes off in his limo with them, but The Chipmunks are able to escape beforehand and leave bobble-head dolls of themselves in the cages before reuniting with Dave.Īlvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel ĭave enrolls The Chipmunks in high school and leaves them in the care of his nephew Toby Seville. When Dave comes to The Chipmunk's latest concert to get them back, The Chipmunks realize that Ian lied to them and try to return to Dave. Ian starts badly abusing The Chipmunks by feeding a hyperactive energy boost and switching Simon's glasses with that similar to his. The Chipmunks believe him and leave Dave for Ian. However, Ian wants The Chipmunks to himself and tricks them into believing that Dave doesn't love him and is only using them for their fame. Ian signs them to Jett Records and dresses in sweaters and The Chipmunks become an internet sensation. However, the Chipmunks later feel guilty and go to Ian's house and sing to him. He teaches them a Christmas chorus and presents them to his boss Ian Hawke, but the Chipmunks are too nervous and cannot perform ruining Dave's moment of glory. He tries to kick them out, but when he finds out they can sing he adopts them as his sons. Dave finds them and is freaked out that they can talk. One day, their tree was cut down and they ended in the big city where they stowed away in the bag of Dave Seville and found themselves in his house. Theodore lived in a tree in the forest with his brothers Alvin and Simon. Theodore Seville is known as a trusting, humble, empathetic, cheerful, dignified, observant, respectful, encouraging, selfless, erudite, valiant, insecure, loving, lion-hearted and even-tempered chipmunk who lives with his siblings and owner. Theodore is a chubby chipmunk with light green eyes and wears a green hoodie. 3.3 Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.3.2 Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.What a treat to see the original album covers of The Chipmunks over the years during the end credits. Not bad for a reboot though for my money, I think I'd love to see the original version for television from the '50s, "The Alvin Show". The music performances of the Chipmunks themselves are variable depending on whether you like any of the songs they sing here or the way their voices completely dominate though I admit liking their performance of "Only You", "Funkytown", and, of course, "The Chipmunk Song", and even the updated version of "Witch Doctor" (though I prefer the original recordings). It's obvious that Lee ("My Name Is Earl") and Cross ("Arrested Development") took these roles for a large paycheck though Lee, at least, grows on you after a while. In fact, the climatic scene when the rodent music group is revealed to be lip-syncing to their own vocals (because of their now-hoarse voices) seems aimed at those who go for such acts like Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson instead of real musicians who play genuine music (though I don't consider what David Seville-Jason Lee-had auditioned initially for Ian authentic either). ![]() Other than that, this was a mostly by-the-numbers story of the pressures of success and the toll it takes on your health. There were pretty funny scenes when they surprised Dave in the beginning and a hilarious one when their manager, Ian (David Cross), gave each of them a caffeinated iced drink to give them energy. After a month of purposely deciding NOT to watch this movie, I finally decided to humor my friend and see this update on Ross Bagdasarian, Snr.'s, creations from fifty years ago.
